Hoshi: Second chapter shall introduce complications and the Christmas ninja!
-:-:-:-
"All set! Let's move out!" Fox's voice commanded through the speakers in their ships and they all went flying. There was just one problem, albeit a very small and insignificant one…
"What about those?" Roy pointed to a small stack of wrapped gifts. And Santa's expression of major horror returns!
"Oh no! I recognize how they were wrapped. These are wrapped perfectly without a flaw for the very best children who have been good all their life! And yes, there are people like that! Who's going to deliver these?!"
"Why can't I do it?" Roy offered.
"I don't want to kill my holiday and besides, you don't own a ship." Roy crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes. Sheik had made her way over to the clinic when she heard the news.
"Marth wants Roy to help clean up his mess, so I'm here to say that we DO have one ship left and Roy could deliver the remaining ones with it." Santa was still reluctant.
"I don't want to kill my holiday, Miss." She crossed her arms as well.
"You shouldn't have such little faith in him and no one else wants to do this on a holiday of all days." You've nary a choice now, old man!
"Well…fine... Carry on, Elfie girl." And Kris Cringle walked away leaving Sheik to wonder why he called her "Elfie girl" and Roy to wonder how to pilot a ship.

People don't lock their doors these days… DK walked right in stealthily with Diddy and they set the gifts underneath the tree. Then they stared at a small table that had a note on it that read: "For Santa".
…
On the table were laser guns…
"Don't children leave cookies and milk anymore?" Diddy asked in a whisper while DK just continued staring.
-:-:-:-
Zero Suit blasted a hole through the door. Luckily for them, this neighborhood had some heavy sleepers, but that did not deter Samus's scolding.
"You don't blast a hole in a door to leave gifts!"
"The door was locked; what did you want me to do? And you should whisper less loudly!" Samus sighed.
"Just don't it at the next house, okay?" Samus dropped them off and looked at a small table that had a note on top of it that read: "For Santa".
…
On the table were a bunch of bananas…
"Well, Santa does need to cut back on the cookies and milk…" Zero Suit commented in a whisper.

Fox and Falco walked in through the back door.
"What is wrong with people's sense of security?" Falco shook his head as the two made their way to the living room to drop off the gifts.
"At least we don't have to go down a chimney and get covered in soot." Fox was looking at the bright side. But still, LOCK YOUR DOORS, people. They glanced at the table that had a note on top of it that read: "For Santa".
And miraculously enough, it had a plate of cookies and a glass of milk like a classic home would on the night of Christmas Eve. Wow, stupid people do things right for once!
"They should've left us lasers." Falco was not impressed…
-:-:-:-
And finally, Meta Knight and Kirby enter a home the right way! They slid down a chimney shaking off the soot afterwards and dropped off the gifts. Kirby got excited about getting cookies, but unluckily, when they saw the small table that had a note on top of it that read: "For Santa"…
…
On the table were lasers…
"Aw…" Kirby was so terribly disappointed while Meta Knight made his comment.
"What is wrong with the people of today?"
-:-:-:-
"…And that's how you pilot the ship." Sheik had just finished her lengthy explanation and turned to see Roy dozing off. She shook him gently and he woke up. "Did you listen to a word I said?"
"Well…I know how to start the ship and steer, but I'm not sure how to land it…"
"Eh. Good enough. Anyway, put this on." She tossed a red and green outfit his way. "You'll have to hide your identity just in case because…you're not exactly the greatest when it comes to stealth." In lieu of being offended, he just nodded in agreement.

Peach was baking cookies for Santa, but then she heard screaming, so she ran out of the kitchen leaving the oven on… Wow… Oh well. She met up with Zelda who was with Santa holding a lifeless fairy's body while trying to stay stable with his crutches.
"This is a sad Christmas Eve when a fairy that symbolizes the spirit of Christmas has left the world of the living…" Zelda was kind of tearing up and Peach consoled her friend. "We should give her a proper burial." Then they noticed Ike strolling around and Peach dashed over to him.
"Ike! A fairy died! You have to attend the funeral with us!" she had already latched onto him crying about the sad tragedy and if a girl is attached to you crying then you shouldn't decline her invitation to mourn.
"Um…okay?"
-:-:-:-
"These clothes are kind of tight…" Roy fidgeted slightly in discomfort.
"I'm sure they aren't that bad. You look great in them." She led him over to a full-length mirror. He kind of looked like a red-haired Christmas-themed Sheik save for the blue eyes and the fact that he was kind of short and so was his hair.
"I kind of look like a Christmas you." That made the actual Sheikah laugh a little.
"Your identity shall be known as…the Christmas ninja… I didn't come up with the name, but you're supposed to tell kids that when you wake them up."
"Don't you mean if I wake them up?"
"No, I mean when you wake them up. You know it's bound to happen with your clumsiness." He pouted a little and a light bulb went off in Sheik's head. She pulled out one of those fluffy Santa hats and placed it over that upper part of the Sheikah's mask that Roy was wearing.
"Uh…what do I need this for?" She put her arms behind her and swayed a little while her face reddened slightly.
"Just as I thought; you look really cute in it." He looked away as tints of cherry appeared on his cheeks. Not that she could see it, since it was behind his mask, but it was still embarrassing!
"I'd better get going…" And he boarded the ship while his companion waved good luck.
